Customer Question

Hi, I have been feeling...

Hi, I have been feeling a bit unwell for the last 2-3 days. My symptoms are an ache that comes and goes in my left arm and leg (in random areas) and I'm feeling headachy and a little nauseous at times. I'm 4 weeks postpartum and am breastfeeding (not sure if you need to know this). I am concerned about the dull ache/pain that comes and goes in my left arm and leg, I did feel a bit in my chest as well but that seems to have gone now.

When you shoot yourself to feel that the pain gets worse or that you developed worsening chest pains?Not shoot, that’s supposed to read “exert”.When you exert yourself so you feel worsening pain in the chest or extremity pains?

As long as you don’t have any worsening leg swelling it may not be anything serious.But we always worry about postpartum eclampsia which is quite rare.The fact that it’s one sided pain is worth exploring. Did the pregnancy all go well?
